[...] When I sit down to use a Mac, the first thing I think is, “I hate Macs”, and then I think, “Why has this rubbish aspirational ornament only got one mouse button?” Losing that second mouse button feels like losing a limb. [...]
This has to be the one thing that really bugs me in the Mac vs PC/Windows argument, trivial as it might be. Simply the answer is: It was never designed to have one.
Apple operating systems have, for a long time, been designed with the concept of one hand on the keyboard and one on the mouse – the keyboard hand therefore able to operate key modifiers such and cmd+click and option+click. Windows (not sure about Linux et al) on the other hand were designed with the mouse as the primary input device and so menus are acessed via right/middle/double click etc.
As for the content of the rest of the post regarding what is better or worse, I shall just say that my laptop is equally at home running OS X or XP, (and you can always buy a 2-button mouse if you really want one).
